Dominguez-Garcia allegedly beat Esperanza Purcella right before he shot a gun in the pediatric wing of the hospital, police said.

Purcella still has a cut on her lip from where Dominguez-Garcia hit her. She continues to stay at the hospital, where her baby is recovering from stomach surgery. That's why they were here in the first place.

"I just wish it could've been a bad dream or something, said Purcella.

The now fugitive was in the hospital Tuesday to visit Purcella and their son before the baby's surgery.

"He was pulling my hair and slamming me against the wall and pushing me and slapped me across my face," said Purcella.

Soon after, a gunshot ricocheted in the pediatric unit and the hospital surveillance camera caught Purcella's family chasing Dominguez-Garcia.

"I thought he shot my dad at first because he was on top of him-- then i ran to check on the baby, because you never know where the bullet went," said Purcella.

Purcella told Action 7 News about the ordeal and revealed his desperate text messages sent minutes after he allegedly fired the gun saying "please don't snitch on me, I love you. I want to end my life."

Another said,"please find it in your heart to forgive me."

Purcella said rumors that the violence started because of a recent break up with her are false. She said the suspected south side gang member had showed up to ask for drug money and she said no.

At this point all the young mother wants is for her baby's father to go to jail. She says she'd turn him in, in a heartbeat.

"He deserves everything he's gonna get," said Parcella.

Purcella said she's just thankful her dad and brother showed up when they did Tuesday because now, knowing Dominguez-Garcia had a gun, Purcella worries she and her son could have been dead.
